Travis Reininger

 I grew up on the Front Range of Colorado in a small farming town, Brighton.  I still reside in Brighton with my beautiful wife Amy and daughter Addison.  We also have 2 dogs, Gauge and Max.  Gauge, the chocolate lab, is a hunting machine and goes with me almost every day.  It wouldn’t be the same without her.  Max is a Great Dane and Boxer mix.  He weighs 130 pounds and thinks he is a lap dog.  Max goes with us to the field and helps set decoys, but as soon as the guns come out he returns to the truck and guards it for us, and looks for any lost donuts that remain there.  

I work as a professional baseball umpire.  I attended umpire school in 1997 after attending Western State College on a wrestling scholarship and began working my way thru the minor league system.  I got the chance in 2005 to attain one of my goals in life and umpire at the Major League level.  I now work in both AAA and MLB.  I work as an AAA call-up umpire and hope to be hired full time by MLB one day.  It is the greatest job in the world. I work all summer then have all winter to enjoy my other true passions.  Spending time with my family and hunting!

    I grew up in a hunting family.  My father hunted every chance he got and involved my brother and I from a very young age.  I grew up hunting waterfowl, elk, deer, pheasant, and turkey.  I love hunting all the above, but waterfowl and archery elk is what really gets me excited.   You can find me hunting about 90- 100 days a year throughout the US.  I generally hit 3 – 4 different states with Idaho and North Dakota being two of my favorite. It’s hard to beat a late season Mallard hunt on the Snake River of Idaho.

Chris Guccione

I was born and raised  in the small mountain town of Salida, Colorado.  I currently  live in Brighton, Colorado with my beautiful wife, Amy, and my hunting buddy, Remington.  I hunt waterfowl 90 to 100 days a year.

It wasn’t until I moved to the Front Range of Colorado in 1998 that I truly caught the waterfowl bug.  Growing up in the small town of Salida, there was always plenty of  elk and deer to stalk after but there was very little waterfowl.  My brother and I would jump shoot the Arkansas River or head down to the San Luis Valley and try our luck at decoying a green head.  We would shoot a few ducks  but most of the time it was nice to watch the sunrise, pick up my dozen decoys, and head home. Now my winters are consumed with the thrill of ducks piling into the decoys  or  a flock of Canada’s gliding across the cut corn field, dropping, with their  feet down. Going from North Dakota down to Nebraska and on to Idaho looking for that thrill and I can honestly say I never get tired of it.  

Living on the Front Range of Colorado, which I call the  “best kept secret for goose hunting” , what more can you  want?

Craig Reininger

Craig grew up in Brighton Colorado.  He is 29 years old and waterfowl hunting is what he loves to do.  I think the only thing he likes better is hanging out with his family.  He married his high school sweetheart and they have an awesome 16 month old son Owen.  Craig also has a new lab for the upcoming waterfowl season.  Trip is a chocolate lab that will be hunting with Craig this year.   Craig earned his degree from Colorado State University and now works for the Piccadilly Nursery in Brighton.  Craig loves his job, but when he gets the chance to sneak away and guide a group of hunters he jumps at the chance.  Craig is a very experienced caller and hunter.  Craig competes in many calling competitions across the US.  He has placed in the top 3 in numerous contests and is still improving every day.  Craig is a member of the Sean Mann pro-staff .  He has many repeat groups that ask specifically for Craig and he loves it.  He gets out of work and he also gets the chance to be out in the field and do what he loves.  Craig is a dependable guide that our clients love.  We could not do this without quality people behind the scenes and Craig is definitely one of them!

Ryan

Our names are Ryan, Blake, and Scott. There is nothing we would rather do than hunt. It has been our passion ever since I can remember. Our dogs Buddy and Aspen love to be right there with us. During the off season we do anything outdoors like fishing, dirtbiking, camping, and preparing for the next waterfowl season.  Our dad passed away in 2002 and it was a life changing event. As a result of his death, we have all grown to be very strong and have become dependent on each other at a younger age then most. We believe that we were lucky to spend the time we did with him and he taught us many things. He was the man who got us started on our life addiction…Hunting.

                 My brothers and I try to be out in the field as often as possible hunting anything we can. Out of all the types of animals, nothing compares to geese landing in the decoys! During this season we were lucky enough to meet the guys with T&G Outdoors. They sure know how to put the hurt on geese and do it better than anyone else. We have been lucky enough to experience it firsthand. There is never a dull moment with Travis and Gooch; they are great guys and a blast to hunt with. The whole crew is awesome; we have been fortunate to get to know them and have made some life long memories in the field.
